Is displacement a scalar quantity?
What can you say about the nature of motion of a body if its displacement-time graph is A curve.
A car covers 90 km in `1 1/2` hours towards east. Calculate
- displacement of car,
- its velocity in (a) kmh−1 (b) ms−1.
Can you suggest the kind of motion of a body from the following distance – time graph?

The table below shows the distance travelled by two vehicles A and B during each second:
| Time (s) | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 |
| Distance travelled by A (m) | 0 | 20 | 80 | 180 | 240 | 300 | 360 | 420 |
| Distance travelled by B (m) | 0 | 10 | 40 | 90 | 160 | 250 | 360 | 490 |
Which vehicle is moving with uniform velocity?
The table below shows the distance travelled by two vehicles A and B during each second:
| Time (s) | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 |
| Distance travelled by A (m) | 0 | 20 | 80 | 180 | 240 | 300 | 360 | 420 |
| Distance travelled by B (m) | 0 | 10 | 40 | 90 | 160 | 250 | 360 | 490 |
At what time do A and B meet?Which vehicle is moving with a constant acceleration?
Which of the following figures represent uniform motion of a moving object correctly?
Assertion: Displacement of a body may be zero when distance travelled by it is not zero.
Reason: The displacement is the shortest distance between initial and final position.
A scalar quantity has ______.
Displacement magnitude can be greater than the distance traveled by the object.
